On Thursday I visited a bank museum ((Museum Mandiri) in Jakarta. Clearly the building has a hard time obscuring its Dutch heritage. Of course, it used to be owned by the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij. Being Dutch and from a post-colonial generation, it felt strange to see such familiar signs in a distant country like Indonesia.

The building itself is very interesting. The museum shows the history of banking in Indonesia. It also displays a number of coin counting machines, and an enormous amount of old type writers.
From the electronic age it also has some ancient ATMs and computers.A flock of ancient ATM machines

These computers, such as IBM’s S/390, were certainly not designed to be on your lap, as the one I am now writing this post on.
